What is the Laurel Club?

The Laurel Club was an organization of Connecticut legislative reporters established in 1909. It was formed “To foster cooperation among legislative newspapermen; to promote better government by accurate and fearless reporting; to puncture the overinflated egos of legislators.”

WTNH is holding a town meeting in conjunction with the New Haven Independent to discuss the issues raised by the Sandy Hook tragedy. After Sandy Hook: In Search of Answers will be broadcast live from the New Haven Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School on January 30th at 4pm.

A wide range of people touched by the mass violence will participate, including the mother of a child lost to gun violence, the man responsible for responding to the 1998 Newington lottery massacre and a Yale child mental health expert.

The town meeting will be televised live by WTNH News 8 without commercial interruption and streamed live on http://www.WTNH.com. News 8 anchor Keith Kountz will moderate. A panel of statewide journalists and New Haven’s mayor will lead an online live discussion of the event as it unfolds.
